Dear PCPS Families,
PCPS would like to offer a congratulations and thank-you to all of the Canadian Athletes who competed in the winter Olympics. Students had the opportunity to talk about the Olympics, sportsmanship and what it takes to persevere through adversity.
This week on Wednesday, February 25, it is Pink Shirt day in Canada. Please wear pink to acknowledge how we can choose kindness and use kind words. Words Matter!
